MORE THAN half a decade before Rachel Carson published The Silent Spring, a Princeton undergraduate named Ralph Nader successfully persuaded the university to stop spraying its trees with insecticides toxic to song birds. Within the same years, an article by Nader appeared in the Princeton paper criticizing American automobiles as death-traps. Later, of course, Nader wrote Unsafe At Any Speed. Anticipating issues and revealing hidden crises is hardly new to Nader.
